Insulin, L-thyroxine and Euthyrox for Ukrainians
We are the Swiss Association KVITEN, which is engaged in the organization and supply of humanitarian aid for Ukraine, evacuations from Ukraine to Switzerland, legal, and documentary support of the temporary displaced people. In providing humanitarian assistance, we place special emphasis on medical assistance, represented by life-saving drugs, first aid drugs, traumatology and oncology.
This project is targeting severely affected Kharkiv and Sumy regions. Necessary drugs are vital for diabetics and people with thyroid disorders.
Provide essential drugs for diabetics and people with thyroid disorders in severely affected regions in Ukraine.
Insulin
There are 4 main groups of insulin: short-acting, medium-acting, ultra-short-acting and long-acting. There are no restrictions on the dose of insulin (both short and extended). One person, when using two types of insulin (2 syringe pens, 1 syringe pen contains 300 IU), will get a sufficient amount for 15-20 days.
L-thyroxine and Euthyrox
The drugs belong to the category of hormonal drugs and are used in the treatment of pathologies associated with impaired functioning of the thyroid gland (hypothyroidism, euthyroid and diffuse goitre, thyrotoxicosis or hyperthyroidism). The drugs are similar, but not interchangeable, because excipients differ.
We need to raise sufficient amount to be able to buy required medicine and deliver it to Ukraine. 3000 CHF will allow to buy ca 200 packs of Euthyrox or ca 45 Insulin Flexpens and to cover part of the overall need.
